CHORUS

Endless was the right word to use in my situation.

The unexpected.

It was a long and frustrating journey with my family, meeting new people who ended up being related to me.

School was over, and my dad forgot to pick me up.

Again.

I checked my phone,and it was half past four. I had no choice but to walk home.

I always found it relaxing when I walked around the neighborhoods of Lukeway Valley. The people always minded their own businesses and I felt like everyone was just having their own problems to deal with.

The birds chirping helped me relax as I walked past the beautiful cherry blossoms as it's flowers bloomed in the park.

Parents were exhausted and needed to relax so they'd bring their kids to play and leave them there just for their own benefits.

As I walked around the park, I spotted a girl and her mom playing together and it reminded me my mom and I playing like the old days. It was fun sometimes. She'd either buy me an ice cream or scold me for getting hurt.

The last time I saw her was the day our family broke into pieces. She had a huge fight with my dad and was never heard from again.

It was heartbreaking to see her leave. My dad pulled me aside from her and didn't want her to take me with her. I was angry and sad at the same time but I sometimes I try to forget about it but for some reason I can't so I decided not to talk about it.

I love my dad but it would have been nice to have a complete family and do what all families do.

I tried to collect some info on her but I ended up getting nothing. I gave up when someone sent me an email saying she was one of the most wanted criminal in the world and till now no one knows her whereabouts.

It was really hard for me to take it in. I never told dad about it because I figured it was the reason why he didn't want me to go with her.

She's history now....

To me.

It was a long walk to my house. I was only five blocks away when I got a text from Anika, my best friend to meet up and help her shop.

ANIKA: "Hey, sup?"

CHORUS: "I'm good. Just heading home now"

ANIKA: Your dad forgot to pick you up again 😒?

CHORUS: Yep. I'm only five blocks away I'll be there in no time.

ANIKA: No no it's ok wait for me at the mall I'll be there in five.😆(sounding excited)

*sigh* CHORUS: sure...

I didn't want to sound like a party pooper by saying no. I needed some company besides, my dad hardly paid attention to me because he was always busy.

I mean he literally forgot his own daughter at school 😭

Anika, was my best friend, but we had our differences. She was the extrovert who was my source of information about what happens at school and on the internet but I, was the opposite.

A teenage girl who loves music and like to write her own songs, loved my personal space and never had any interest in going to parties and whatever else that happens at school.

So I decided to meet her at the mall 😁.
